I'm coming up on the 1 year anniversary of my sexual assault in a few weeks and so many things still haven't resolved. I'm scared and anxious and the nightmares are horrific and our justice system hasn't helped me one bit. My family is super dysfunctional and basically expects me to be...
Don't worry I'm not thinking of doing anything crazy at the moment. Especially since I just recently got out of the hospital and definitely don't plan on going back anytime soon. But I won't lie I'm still feeling this way. I'm trying so hard. I promise you I'm fighting like hell but god damn...
Thank you!! <3 Thank you so much friend! I have felt so terrified and alone and its excruciating. I want to protect myself and recover but was just unaware of the right steps to take. Thank you again! I'll do my best to post updates about this situation here and will definitely reach out again...
I was ambushed by a group of guys from my neighborhood back in February. It was agonizing, to the point where I just begged them to kill me. I won't go much further with the details of that night but rather the threats I've been receiving since. Law enforcement in my area is horrendous and I...
Thank you friend <3 I plan on reporting it. Thankfully my therapist advised me to take photos of my wounds and bag my clothes from that night for evidence once I'm ready to come forward. I won't lie though I'm very scared because I can't put all of those boys from that group of friends behind...
They planned it all. I didn't have any reason to fear walking home from my friend's house that night because it was early and in my own neighborhood. While walking past the park I was grabbed and hit in the head. I was still conscious but I kinda wish I wasn't because I recognized these voices...
Thank you friend. you always seem to be here for me when i come back on here. it means more than you know, truly. you're a gift, the world really needs more beautiful souls like you. Thank you again.
thank you! I'm fighting this with everything inside me and i truly don't want to give up but...
In desperate need of some hope. I'm alone here and the weight of the world is crushing me and every minute feels like an hour and I just need a little hope right now.. I was to heal so desperately but this is hell.
I can't get the sound of them laughing out of my head. I can't sleep, or eat. I can't stop asking myself why. Why after everything I've been through, why did this have to happen to me...again! I can't cry anymore, I just don't have any thing left in me..I feel numb. How long will I hurt like...
Will they report my situation to the police? There have been threats to to friends and family and I don't want the police to get involved because I'm afraid for them?
I haven't been on this site in a few weeks but I'm so alone right now.
I was sexually abused as a child by my neighborhood and have a borderline/narcissistic father who physically and emotionally abused me and my siblings which led to my diagnosis or ptsd and depersonalization disorder. All...
Thank you so much friend (: and yes forgiveness is so important for US to move forward. Glad to hear you were able to do the same! And thank you again for your constant encouragement ❤️
Thank you friend (: I am detached emotionally from him and am not looking to receive anything from him at this point in our relationship. Sadly, I know I'm incapable of reaching him at this stage in his life. I have placed safe boundaries and he knows I decide when I see him. But he's hurting...
He knows he doesn't have a fighting chance but chooses to spend every ounce of his energy convincing others that he does. Saying to them that he's changed because it helps him heal the gaps where his self love should exist.
He is never happy with what he has and is always searching for...
I know I feel so silly and immature for getting upset with her. I'm just so used to no one giving a shit about me and taking care of myself without anyone's help. But that's the exact reason I started therapy was to learn to trust people again and to process all this trauma. I think what I'm...
I know I'm resilient and will overcome this because I always pull through but it's just all a lot at the moment. On top of moving out, my best friend having a schizophrenic episode and my father losing 30,000 cause of his gambling addiction. It is just one crisis after another
My T told me I needed to tell someone because I don't currently have any support and she suggested my mom. The problem is is that my father has borderline personality disorder and my mother is codependent so receiving emotional support from either was an extremely difficult step for me. To be...
Manipulation is brutal :( especially when you're a child and your minds developing and you don't know any better and you trust the person because you're supposed to. But don't feel guilt love it is in no way your fault! It's such a shame that we end up feeling this way and I've learned the only...
Absolutely! this is 100% me as well. My father has narcissistic personality disorder and I grew up raising him. He used to take me on 4 hour car rides as early as 6 years old and called me his "therapist" It totally destroyed my self worth and I understand completely how it feels to desire...
Last night my best friend had another schizophrenic episode. It's been almost three years since the last one but this was definitely the worst its ever been. She lives in my neighborhood and doesn't have much of a support system other than me and a few other friends. I did everything i could but...
